Your coupler will sit over the compressor outlet…

Your couple in about 10mm thick…

The clearence to your manifold is only a couple centimeters, if that…

When you drive the car (hard or otherwise) the heat from the manifold will burn a hole through your coupler which will cause a severe boost leak…

This will in turn cause you to run extremely rich at that instant causing you to loose power, blow black smoke, and somtimes a huge flame.

You will then have to buy a new coupler, and replace…

This will happen frequently depending on your driving style…

Any questions?
